Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 473/318,445/902
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 473,445
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 473,445 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 318,902 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 318,902 is 143418 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 473,445
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 473 that divides 473 without a remainder.
1,11,43,473
Factors of 445
List of positive integer factors of 445 that divides 445 without a remainder.
1,5,89,445
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 473,445 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 473,445 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 318,902
2 | 318, 902 |
159, 451 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 159 x 451 = 143418
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143418
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 473/318,445/902 is 1/143418
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 318,902 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(318,902) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(318,902) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(318,902) = ( 318 × 902 ) / 2
LCM(318,902) = 286836 / 2
LCM(318,902) = 143418
